12 Year Old Pitching in Minors

guest — Wed, 22 May 2013 18:36:46 GMT

From the story it sounds like this league let 12's pitch in minors for years !!!

It finally caused a problem and they "got caught".

No way LL (Williamsport) is going to give the a Waiver for it!

To Be(Fair) or Not To Be (Fair)

guest — Sun, 17 Feb 2013 03:19:02 GMT

The Little League in our city had 43 signups for Juniors Division. The Board was adamant about only having two teams of 13 players, have tryouts, and tell those who didn’t make a team “sorry no baseball for you this season”. There were volunteers willing to manage/coach a third team but to no avail. When the draft occurred and parents got wind that their child might not be playing complaints began. After the draft and two teams, A and B, were selected, the Board gave in and allowed an adult to have the remaining 17 players for team C. The newest manager wanted to thin down his roster and explained to the Board that 17 players on his team and 13 players on the other two were at a disadvantage. The Board agreed but would only allow him to protect 4 players on team C and permit Teams A and B to select a player each from Team C. Can anyone tell me, how many things are wrong with this scenario? I believe it should have been a total redraft or allow Team C manager to choose which players were to be put on Team A and B. Please give me some input for future reference…

Looking for help from some youth baseball parents

guest — Mon, 05 Nov 2012 20:19:04 GMT

We are a group of 3 parents that have kids that play a variety of youth sports. They include baseball, softball, lacrosse, and basketball. We've been alarmed at the move away from traditional rec leagues to the world of travel and club teams across all youth sports. We want to see why people seem to feel that Little League, AYSO, city leagues, etc no longer meet their needs. We thought we would gather some info and see what it told us. Your insight into the world of youth baseball would be a huge help!

Any comments on this topic you would like to make as well would be appreciated as well.

Here's a link to our short questionaire.

Hello, my son is turning 6 in December and he tried T-ball this summer through the city and loved it. Is there a place where I can get email alerts when sign ups are taking place in our area again. I know we missed winter ball already.
